[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1992744, member: 468714"] Thank you [USER=31362]@Grazer[/USER], [USER=432241]@Circuspony[/USER], [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER], [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER], - it would appear the set standards have changed somewhat over time. From my reading: I assume hospital tests will be done by sampling venous blood, not capillary blood. I am guessing BSL results will be different depending on type of blood sampled, method of measurement and error ranges of each method and thus will not be directly comparable.? And is CGM too inaccurate to use or to calibrate and standardise in place of multiple venous blood samples if new standards could be set??? And if BSL tests are not performed before the 2 hour mark will things like dumping syndrome may be missed? And for extended OGTT lack of multiple sampling might lead to the actual low BSL being missed as @Lamont fears.? And what is the utility of extending the test time for someone whose standard test is interpreted as T2D ? Does the doctor assume that the only utility is to detect a possible low BSL at say, 3 to 4 hours after test start ? Although could such knowledge be useful to the patient to help explain why they feel they have to eat at that time, and which makes their condition potentially worse.? Does it also inform HCP and patient about dietary choices.? [/QUOTE]
